KEY FORCES

Environment: is being affected by our lifestyles and we have to preserve it.
Economy: Coming out of the recession, we can now consume again but more modestly.

“As clubgoers dance, the floor is compressed by less than half an inch. It makes contact with the piezoelectric material under it and generates anywhere from two to 20 watts of electricity, depending on the impact of the patrons’ feet” - http://www.popsci.com/environment/article/2009-01/harvesting-energy-humans

“Our most challenging...rewarding projects result from all the live, work, and play environments coming together in urban mixed-use developments. If the leaded elements are skillfully blended, the results can be golden. What we gain is the opportunity to be involved in the civic realm--to be active as citizens of our communities”

PROFILE OF THE CLIENTMARRIOT HOTEL
Their key business activity is to provide people with rooms
to sleep in that are convenient and comfortable. They need to
move away from the mere convenience aspect and into a sphere
that encompasses social gathering and multi-uses so that all
customers will be benefitted and not just the young entrepreneurs
that utilize their board and meeting rooms.
SUGGESTIONS
